Virginia Trip in July

We took a trip to Virginia in July and were able to see almost all of our families.  We were able to see Websters Parents, Sister, Grandparents, Aunt and Uncle as well as our niece and on my side of the family we were able to see my grandmother and my Aunt and Uncle.  It was nice to see so many people in one trip! We first stopped in Martinsville and visited websters Grandparents.  We were able to have Fathers Day lunch with Grandad which was really nice.  We stayed with Uncle Rich and Aunt Jane while we were there and had lots of fun relaxing, riding around Smith Mountain Lake( which is a beautiful lake surrounded by mountains), and most fun of all was putting together Grandads book of the stories of his life:)  We had a nice time with them and then made our way to Roanoke to spend some time with my Mimi and my Aunt and Uncle.  Visiting Mimi was great its always good to see her and see the smile that our son brings to her face.  Time with Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Mike was also good! Luke watched for deer in their backyard, helped Aunt Carolyn Garden and most fun of all learned how to catch lightening bugs which was one of my favorite childhood memories from Roanoke. All in all it was a nice trip to see all of our family!

Luke in a chair at my Mimis house.  The house has been rented out and the people were nice enough to let us in and let me look around and reminise on all the good times I have had in Mimis house over the years.  This chair is one of my favorites in her house.  My brother and I used to play in it all the time

Aunt Carolyn found a place that had gluten free ice cream cones.   So, Luke was able to have his first ice cream cone!!! With sherbert instead of ice cream since we are also allergic to milk:)
